DeChambeau has few options after LIV collapse says McIlroy
McIlroy said DeChambeau could draw fans to tournaments as the former LIV Golf star weighs a deadline for his next move.
- On Tuesday, Masters champion Rory McIlroy said Bryson DeChambeau faces limited career options following LIV Golf's collapse earlier this month. McIlroy noted the American's difficult position while speaking ahead of the DP World Tour Championship.
- The Saudi Public Investment Fund cut funding to LIV Golf, forcing the circuit to wind down operations after four years. This collapse ended a high-profile period of defections that divided professional golf.
- "It doesn't seem like he's got many options," McIlroy said, though he acknowledged DeChambeau "brings eyeballs," benefiting tournaments. The two players have historically disagreed, yet McIlroy recognized the American's potential impact on events.
- DeChambeau must confirm Category 1 DP World Tour membership by November 15 to secure playing opportunities next season. A return to the PGA Tour remains unlikely, limiting his near-term pathways.
- Meanwhile, McIlroy enters the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai targeting an eighth Harry Vardon Trophy, matching Colin Montgomerie's record. He trails leader Eugenio Chacarra by nearly 534 points in the Race to Dubai.
